Sankirtana And Happiness
Through the popularizing of hari-kirtana, or the sankirtana movement, the brahminical culture and ksatriya government will automatically come back, and people will be extremely happy.
Purport on Srimad Bhagavatam 7.2.11
Greatness of Kali Yuga
Those who are actually advanced in knowledge are able to appreciate the essential value of this age of Kali. Such enlightened persons worship Kali-yuga because in this fallen age all perfection of life can easily be achieved by the performance of sankirtana, the congregational chanting of the Lord's holy names.
Spiritual Life
If someone is shaving with a straight edge razor and they are a little careless, they can easily cut themselves. So, spiritual life is like a razor’s edge: just that it takes a little bit of bodily identification, a little bit of mental concoction and we may get off the track. Maybe in a future life we will get a chance. Nothing is lost is in this endeavour.
Constructing Temples
In this age, it is more important to create devotees than to construct temples.
Practising Krishna Consciousness
Remembrance of Krishna is not possible for the impure soul who has not practiced Krishna consciousness in devotional service. Therefore, one should practice Krishna consciousness from the very beginning of life.
Reincarnation & Christianity
It was only in the sixth century, after the Emperor Justinian proclaimed that reincarnation was no longer acceptable and would be considered a heretic doctrine, that Christians began to denounce it. The writings of earlier Christians such as Saint Jerome in the fourth century explain that reincarnation was considered an esoteric doctrine that should be understood and defended by Christian philosophy. In the second century, Origen discussed themes of reincarnation in his book titled On First Principles, which is still available in the library today. As we research different scriptures, we can still find hints of reincarnation in all of them.

Great Gain Derived From Chanting
Yoga means to connect ourself again with God, or Krishna. This practice of yoga, always thinking of Krishna, is very easily accomplished by chanting Hare Krishna maha-mantra, if you chant Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. Twenty-four hours it can be practiced. There is no expenditure, there is no loss, but the gain is very great.
